The avocado is a versatile performer that can take center stage or play a supporting role as a flavorful accent. The unique flavor and mouth watering creaminess marry well with ingredients from mild to wild, as well it is quite enjoyable when crafting natural skin products in your own kitchen!
On June 3rd Chef Melissa was the guest Chef at Telemetro’s Tu Mañana Show. Since avocados are in season, it was a great opportunity to showcase this delicious food.

The avocado is colloquially known as the Alligator Pear, reflecting its shape and the gator skin like appearance of its skin. Avocado is derived from the Aztec work “ahuacalt”. While avocados are now grown in most tropical and subtropical countries, the major commercial producers include the United States (Florida and California), Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil and Colombia.

Ingredients:

1 avocado (aguacate), ripe

2 tablespoons honey

4 oz. whole milk

4 tablespoons vanilla ice cream

a pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Remove skin and seeds from avocados, chop roughly. Blend the avocados, honey, milk and ice cream in a blender for 15 seconds or until becomes smooth. Serve in tall glasses with ice and dust cinnamon on top.
